DiDomenico won the championship match when he pinned Mount Vernon’s Curtis Williams in 3:34.

“I knew that my opponent had a lot of upper-body strength, and he was also very fast, so that was something I had to watch out for,” DiDomenico said. “The key to winning that match was that I had to be just as fast as he was, while also attacking the legs instead of the upper body.”

Lakeland/Panas fell the previous day at Pawling 64-18 with DiDomenico (106), Caleb Meekins (113) and Quinn (182) all winning by pin.

“We unfortunately have a handful of guys injured and gave up a bunch of matches to forfeits, five of them,” Lakeland/Panas coach Craig Bergquist said.

The Rebels began the week with a competitive 43-30 loss to visiting Beacon on Jan. 6.

“Although we gave forfeits at 99, 145, 170, and 220 pounds, we faired pretty well in an exciting match against Beacon tonight,” Bergquist said. “A few matches that went their way could have easily gone our way.”

DiDomenico (106) recorded a pin in 2:30, Meekins, who usually wrestles at 113 pounds, wrestled up at 120 and recorded a pin at 5:19, newcomer William Ortiz (132) won by pin in 4:40 and Quinn (195) earned a pin in 5:40 against the Bulldogs.

“The newer guys are gaining confidence and experience as the season progresses,” Bergquist said.
